Semi-Homemade Hors'dourves and a Recipe Link Party

Well this week is my birthday week, so I have been avoiding the computer a little bit... I haven't been to the weight watchers website once.  I haven't weighed myself either...  Ah, ignorance is bliss, especially when you are eating birthday cake... (maybe not so much the week after)

Anyway, I recently went to a friends house for a birthday party and they had this quick little bite size appetizer that was SO good.  I am not exactly sure what the recipe was but I figured that I can make it if I tried. It was made from crescent roll, bacon, and cream cheese that's probably another reason why I'll be glad I didn't weigh myself this week.  I made them for a little get together that we had tonight.

Bacon & Cream Cheese Crescents

1 -  8 ounce Cream Cheese
2 Crescent Roll Packages
1 Bag Real Bacon Bits
sprinkle of Garlic Powder

Mix bacon bits, cream cheese and garlic powder together until well combined.
Open Crescent roll package and lay rolls out flat (cut like image below)
Add a small dollop of cream cheese mixture to the wide portion of the triangle and roll up!

Bake at 350 for approx 15 minutes.  Serve hot!

Here are some pictures of the little party we had tonight.  The kids had a huge water war in the back yard, mix that with the sand box... and we made them stay outside ( to save the new wood floors!)  They sang me happy birthday through the window screen, that it made it even cuter!
